None for this Fall, and it remains to be seen what GS revivals we might see next Fall, if any.

At the GSC 3 pitch session, it was made pretty clear that there's no market right now for traditional game shows. If it's not a "reality" show, or a game show with "reality" elements, there's no market.

My UPN station even promotes Karn Feud as "reality."

It's also not that big of a deal. Some of you need to widen the parascope just a tad.

You Don't Say played while a helicopter dangles the contestants over a shark tank might sell.
